I’m so NOT IMPRESSED ! Not impressed with the crime in this country that one mistakes their own girlfriend for an intruder. Not impressed with the fact that O.P. had a firearm. Not impressed that he didn’t have proper security for his home besides this firearm. Not impressed that IOL disabled comments from being posted. Not impressed that this beautiful woman lost her life.
Not impressed that she didn’t even make Valentine’s Day.
